Kogetsu – New Quick & Tasty Lunch Specials and New Menu Items

SUKA @ One Residency, KL
There’s a nice quiet charm about Suka - it takes on a dual ambience of casual comfort but when the lights are dimmed, a sense of simple elegance permeates the place. It's a cool place to chill out during happy hours - drinks and rounds of pool are regular stuff here. Suka looks every bit a western-style eatery. The menu, in large, reflects this – Appetizers, Soups, Pastas, Main Courses, Pizzas, Burgers, Pizzas and even Tapas – they have it all. But what’s pleasantly surprising is … [Read more...]

Edo Ichi @ Nexus Bangsar South
Once you go past the Kerinchi area and enter Nexus Bangsar with its swanky highrises, it’s like stepping into another dimension. This place is touted as the “next Publika” and I could see why as eateries and drinking holes are plentiful around here. Within the massive steel structure and polished floors of Nexus, Edo Ichi beckons prominently from the ground level. Edo Ichi is run by the same people behind Ichi Zen, Hana, Azuma and Sushi Zento – certainly no greenhorns in the Japanese F&B … [Read more...]
Iberico Kitchen @ Ara Damansara
The Iberico pig is much revered for its quality meat. It is often referred to as the "wagyu equivalent" of pork. What wagyu is to beef, Iberico is to pork. The superior taste and texture of Iberico pork is a result of its unique metabolism. The pig is able to metabolise directly whatever they have ingested into their bodies, resulting in meat that is delicately scented from their feed. As their feed is usually of premium quality, it is no wonder then that Iberico pork is far more superior than … [Read more...]
Enorme @ PJ Centrestage
Right smack in the centre of the podium of PJ Centrestage is Enorme. You can’t miss it. Actually, I didn’t even know about this PJ Centrestage until someone told me about Enorme. Opened since last December, Enorme has been quietly dishing up simple Italian fares to its clientele. Basically it’s a pizza and pasta joint, with some antipasti and mains thrown in. Oh, it also has a Brunch menu. “Enorme” is enormous in Italian and the inspiration for this chosen name lies in the … [Read more...]
Banana Leaf Rice in UMAC
Fancy having a leisurely banana leaf rice meal amidst cool lush greenery? Far away from the madding crowd, like they say. Yes, such a place exists and it’s located along a long and winding road amidst ancient raintrees that provide you the much needed shade from the brutal sun. Drive past some old bungalows and right at the end of the road, you will see this sign: Drive up the sloped driveway and there’s the University Malaya Academic Club House (UMAC). Plenty of parking is available in … [Read more...]
10 things you should know when visiting London for the 1st time
There’s always a first time. For anything and everything. So, recently I went to London and Paris, for the first time. It was a trip DL and I talked about for a long time but never got round to doing it, until a few months ago when several airlines were rigorously promoting their special offers for tickets to some cities in Europe, London being one of them. Once our tickets were purchased, I had to plan the itinerary. I didn't want a rigid plan as we wanted to have a relaxed time on … [Read more...]
The Original Boat Noodles – new dishes unveiled
The boat noodles phenomenon has taken the Klang Valley quite by storm for the past year or so. Scenes of noodle bowls piling up sky high were something that almost everyone was bragging about on social media. Personally, I haven’t had any of these boat noodles until recently because I couldn’t quite subscribe to the idea of eating one mouthful of noodles from one bowl. For a fulfilling meal, the task of having to eat 10 bowls was quite daunting, not to mention the time and detergent needed to … [Read more...]
